Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractAmbient Levels of Primary and Secondary Pollutants in a Residential Area: Population Risk and Hazard Index Calculation over a Three Years Study PeriodS. Al-Salem, A. Al-FadhleeThis paper aims at presenting data collected over the period of three years (2004-2006) in a residential area in the state of Kuwait. The data collected include ambient levels of primary and secondary pollutants with a number of metrological parameters. A series of unfiltered and filtered concentration roses were plotted to determine the predominant sources as well as the prevailing … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 3, Issue 4 · 31 Dec 2007 · 6,463 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractAssessment of Soil Solution Chemicals after Tannery Effluents DisposalCélia A. Surita, Thomas Gloaguen, Célia R. Montes, Carlos T.S. DiasKnowledge about soil solution chemicals is important for assessing their mobility, availability, migration to groundwater and toxicity to plants. The objective of this study was to apply factor analysis to data obtained on soil solution chemicals during a one-year monitoring program in a controlled experiment with tannery effluents disposed on the soil surface, to extract information on their relationship and … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 4, Issue 12 · 31 Dec 2007 · 6,775 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractAutomatic Calibration of Frequency Compensation System in Computer-Controlled Patch-Clamp AmplifierJun Xiong, Gang Hu, Anlian QuComputer-controlled patch-clamp amplifier is a digitally controlled analog device used to record the cellular ion channel currents in electrophysiology research. The inherent bandwidth and performance of the headstage is limited by the stray capacitance and distributed capacitance across the feedback resistors. In order to effectively improve the performance of the headstage, the paper advanced a simplified automatic calibration method of … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 3, Issue 10 · 31 Oct 2007 · 6,818 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractNumerical Analysis of Forward Expansion Characteristics of Ablated Plasma by Pulsed Ion-Beam Interaction with Al TargetChainarong Buttapeng, Masaru Yazawa, Nobuhiro HaradaThe main objective of the current study was to investigate the behavior of ablation plasma which was produced by irradiating pulsed ion-beam with a solid target of Al thin foil. The technique used here was called a forward expansion---beams irradiation and the ablation plasma expansion are in an opposite direction. A one-dimensional hydrodynamic model was used to simulate the dynamic … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 4, Issue 2 · 28 Feb 2007 · 7,113 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractA Dynamic Weight Assignment Approach for Index TermsKamel E. Haouam, Farhi MarirCurrently in the development of Informational Retrieval (IR) systems, a set of keywords represents the semantics of a text document and after assigning weights to the set of keywords, they are used for indexing, searching and retrieval purposes. The current approaches for assigning weights are provided by an IR model that is used by an IR system. The main objective … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 2, Issue 3 · 31 Mar 2006 · 6,945 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractA New Look to Adaptive Temporal Radial Basis Function Applied in Speech RecognitionMesbahi Larbi, Benyettou AbdelkaderThis study presents new contribution towards the Adaptive Temporal Radial Basis Function (ATRBF) applied to Continuous speech recognition, in particular the recognition of phonemes like Timit Corpus. ATRBF combines features from Time Delay Neural Network (TDNN) and the advantages of Radial Basis Function (RBF). The capacity to detect the acoustic features and their independent temporal report of the temporal localisation … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 1, Issue 1 · 31 Dec 2005 · 7,688 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractA Model for Bioaccumulation of Metals in Crassostrea virginica from Apalachicola Bay, FloridaDennis A. Apeti, Elijah Johnson, Larry RobinsonKinetics of bioaccumulation of the trace metals (Cd and Zn) by C. virginica were investigated in this study. A computer program, Oyster Bioaccumulation Model (OBM), was developed to simulate the accumulation of the metals from both dissolved (water column) and particulate (food) phases by C. virginica. The model is based on two main attributes: (1) the oyster biological characteristics such … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 1, Issue 3 · 30 Sep 2005 · 7,478 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractAn HIV/AIDS Model with Variable Force of Infection and its Application to the Epidemic in UgandaFlugentius Baryarama, Joseph Y.T. Mugisha, Livingstone S. LuboobiAn HIV/AIDS model is formulated with variable force of infection for the adult population. Its actions are reduced to a prevalence equation that is a non-logistic equation whose explicit solution is derived. The implications of applying the solution to the evolution of the HIV/AIDS epidemic are discussed with respect to the positive boundedness of the coefficients. Prevalence projections are presented … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 2, Issue 9 · 30 Sep 2005 · 6,969 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractDynamics of Infected Snails and Mated Schistosoma Worms within the Human HostG. Besigye-Bafaki, L. S. LuboobiMale and female worms are independently distributed within a human host each with a Poisson probability distribution mass function. Mating takes place immediately when partners are available. It was found that the mated worm function is non-linear near the origin and becomes almost linear as the worms increase. They increase with increase in the worm load due to aggregation of … …Journal of Mathematics and Statistics, Vol. 1, Issue 2 · 30 Jun 2005 · 6,239 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractThe Role of Groundwater Vulnerability in Urban Development PlanningJ. Nouri, S. MalmasiGroundwater resources in most places of Iran are considered to be one of the important drinking water supplies for civilians. In city of Tehran, 25% of drinking water is being supplied from groundwater. This fact would enforce the requirement to protect and conserve groundwater resources in the city for its further development plan. Municipality of Tehran, District-22 has been designed … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 1, Issue 1 · 31 Mar 2005 · 6,980 accessesView PDFCite
